Events

• [dev1003] A new Grand Company-related sidequest has been added:
  
  Name Client Location
  Gone with the Wind Alaire Gridania (8,5)
  
  
• [dev1134] A “leve history evaluation” feature has been added.
  
  If you have between six and eight leves in your Leve History (main menu « Journal), then you may choose to have that history evaluated at the Guildleve Counter in any of the realm’s Adventurers’ Guilds. Based on the evaluation, you will be given the option to trade your used leve plates for a single new levequest that features a special completion bonus.
  
  
  
  The following are all factors taken into consideration in the evaluation:
  
  • How many faction levequests of a specific type are in your history
    
  • How many different types (Valor, Tenacity, Wisdom, etc.) of leves are in your history
    
  • How many city-states you have accepted leves from
    
  • Whether all the leves in your history have the same border
    
  • The level of your highest class
  
  Combinations of the aforementioned factors will determine the size of the completion bonus. Factors that determine all additional compensation (guild tokens, etc.) are the same as those for normal levequests.
  
  * One leve allowance will be required to accept the levequest awarded after the evaluation.
  * Completion bonuses added to the leve will be reflected in the leve details viewable in the Journal.

• [dev1200] The following NPC vendors have received new inventory:
  Iron Thunder – Limsa Lominsa Battlecraft Ward
  Conayn – Gridania Battlecraft Den
  Reluctant Boar – Ul’dah Battlecraft Row
  Tylswaen – Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks (7,5)
  Zagylhaemr – Gridania (6,6)
  Etgar – Ul’dah Merchants Strip (6,4)
  
  Item Category / Requirements
  Square Maple Shield Shield / Requires: GLA CNJ THM / Required Level: 5
  Bronze Buckler Shield / Requires: GLA THM / Required Level: 14
  
• [dev1201] Rowena (Ul’dah Merchants Strip 6,4) now only requires Allagan runestones in exchange for the various gear in her master’s collection.
  
  
• [dev1202] The rate at which the Disciple of the Land ability Fingerprints of the Gods triggers has been increased. Also, once the ability has triggered, its effect will remain active for all gathering attempts at the current gathering point.

System

• [dev1203] Actions and abilities set to the action bar are now saved when changing classes.
  
  When changing to a class for which action bar settings have been saved, those settings will automatically be loaded. Any recast timers in place will not be reset by changing classes.
  
  As part of this feature, the below changes have been made:
  Bar placement of weapon-specific actions (e.g., conjurer’s Spirit Dart) is now saved.
  Bar placement of the Throw action is now saved. Throw may also be overwritten by other actions and unequipped from the action bar. If saved, Throw appears even when changing classes with no throwing weapon equipped. If the Throw command is overwritten or removed from the action bar, equipping a throwing weapon will cause it to automatically be set to the first available slot.
  
  The bar placement of the Stone Throw action is saved when changing to a Disciple of War or Magic class, but not when changing to a Disciple of the Land of Hand class.
  
  * Saved action bar settings are loaded automatically when changing classes. Since it is possible to change from a level 50 class to a level 1 class, or to change between classes with significant differences in action bar settings, it is necessary to reset existing action bar settings to implement this feature. Action bars will therefore be cleared when changing to a class for the first time after patch 1.19a goes live. Player action bar settings will then be loaded for all future changes to that class. We apologize for any inconvenience resulting from this.
